Xylia Lang

Professional Counselor MA

I believe committing to work on yourself is the ultimate act of self-love, and you’ve already taken the first step by looking for someone to talk to. It takes courage and strength to do the work necessary to create the life that aligns with your values and beliefs. Wherever life currently finds you, you deserve to develop self-understanding, awareness, and empowerment to help you engage more meaningfully in your life. The process of healing can be difficult and painful, and I will be there to support and guide you throughout it.

I will meet you where you are, and I will not judge you for the things you might be judging yourself for. Using a holistic approach to therapy, I work with clients who have a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, trauma, grief, spirituality, academic/career, self-beliefs, life transitions, and identity exploration.

My clients have described me as authentic, honest, and warm, and I am dedicated to understanding the unique situation of each client. I work from a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, anti-racist, sex-positive, Health At Every Size, and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. It would a privilege to begin working with you in your pursuit of wellness.
